support 'Stand for Something' (LP) through the digital outlet of your choice

With several acclaimed projects under their collective belt, New York rap duo Dirt Disciples have amassed a discography that more than speaks for itself. And whether you’re new to the work of Elmira, NY’s Rome Clientel and Long Island’s DJ Concept, or have been following them from jump, you’ll find plenty to love about their latest effort. Stand For Something
is a 10-track compilation that boasts all-new material, previously
unreleased joints, and slept-on collaborations from their catalogue.

“Even the joints that were leaked, or were featured on other artist’s releases may not have gotten the play they deserved,” Concept says, pointing to notable slappers like 2014’s “Love Is Love”
featuring Chaundon. That track actually holds a special place in the
heart of Dirt Disciples, who met years ago through Rome’s work with
Chaun.

“When we talked, we realized we had a very similar mindset,”
Concept explains. “It was the next logical step to start the group.”
That mindset is steeped in a love of all things Hip-Hop, but it’s more
than just music to these two. As the DJ/producer points out, one of his
favorite cuts on the project is the title track because of its “raw
feel” and the fact that “standing up for what you believe in is something I really try to keep in the front of my mind at all times.”

For
Rome, he was especially excited about putting together the standout
remix to Nas classic “It Ain’t Hard to Tell.” The emcee talks of how
impressive it was that Concept made the track his own while remaining
true to the original’s feel. “That’s next to impossible to do, and it proves why our chemistry is sonically so great,” Rome adds.

That chemistry is evident no matter which track off Stand For Something
ends up being your favorite, and chances are it’ll be difficult to
narrow it down to just one. And who knows, by the time you do, the two
may have a new project for you to throw on repeat.

In addition to Chaundon, Stand For Something
includes guest features from Skyzoo, Rick Gonzalez (f/k/a Realm
Reality), DJ Eclipse, and AC on Demand, among others, and is available
now through all major digital retailers and streaming platforms via Crisis Center Collective.
